February 14, 2019 by Reedyseth

This post is the next part of Working with the jQuery Datatables plugin. Since this tutorial is written for those familiar with the plugin You might need to learn the basics of the plugin on the following link http://behstant.com/blog/jquery/datatables-jquery-implementation/. On this tutorial I am going to focus on how to manipulate the elements of the Datatables by using the sDom property. In the first place you need to know that the plugin jQuery Datatables have 4 visual core elements:

Number of items to Display.
The main table.
Number of records retrieved.
Paginator.

Since these elements are visual you can put them in different positions or perhaps you can decide to set them visible or not, however, remember that not adding information into this property will result in a working DataTable using the default settings.

For this Example I will be using a database, the employee table that I have been using in previous tutorials, so if you don’t remember the file structure of the table I present it again.

On this days it is so easy to find a Javascript Datepicker on the field but if you really want a Datepicker with lots of feature you should definitely check out the jQuery UI Datepicker. This jQuery plugin is very configurable to fit your needs. In the following list you can find some of its features.

In order to use this jQuery Datepicker you only have to point to the correct elements with a CSS3 selector, for example if I have a input with id = datepicker then to attached the jQuery Datepicker to that element I would use the following code.

Enqueue Scripts and Styles in WordPress

November 20, 2015September 8, 2015 by Reedyseth

If you are reading this post to find out how to add Javascript or CSS to your WordPress site you are on the right path. I remember my first post where I wanted to add a jQuery code, yeap, it didn’t work the first time. Actually I had to read many information and articles, but none of the was helping me, I had to add a classic Javascript file on the header of my theme, exactly the header.php file. It worked for a while but now is now working any more, guess why? Because I was not doing it the right way.

There is a way to add/enqueue these Javascript and CSS files into WordPresss. WordPress includes functions to Enqueue Scripts and Styles in a way that you can always be sure to have available those files. I am writing this article so that you can digest better the information found in the WordPress CODEX site.
